Geocache Description:

Out geocaching and need to duck into the trees to tinkle? Then this is the cache for you! [Not that kind of tinkle; we'd never suggest you do that]

The above coordinates are not for the final cache location, but a spot very close by. From this spot you should be able to hear the tinkle in the trees; if your eyes are sharp you may even be able to see the source of the sound. Follow the tinkle and find the cache.

Chicad is a collector of windchimes -- the cabin at the lake is decorated with more than 40 of them -- and her desire for this cache was to have a place where other enthusiasts might be able to trade chimes, or perhaps start someone new down the road to their own melodic collection.

The cache is a repainted 50 cal ammo can containing several small wind chimes. It would be great if the theme was kept, and only chimes were traded. These are small, fairly inexpensive chimes that can be had for around $5 at craft and specialty stores (like the Dollar Store, garden centres etc). We know that's a bit more than the average trade item, so feel free to TNLNSL.

On a really calm day you may not be able to hear the tinkle that will lead you to the cache. A peek at the hint should help.

KapuHonu and g011um both live in the area and can help with any maintenance issues that may arise.
